Scientists have conducted studies that could prove the danger of protein diets for humans when at least 20% of proteins are introduced into the diet..

So, researchers from Southern California talk about the significant harm that this type of diet can do to the human body.. These words are at odds with the prevailing public opinion, because we know that supporters of protein diets are people who are often in good physical shape and follow the principles of a healthy lifestyle.

A study by American scientists is quite large-scale.. So, for 20 years, they watched a group of people from several thousand people. It was found that those who adhere to a protein diet, reaching the age of 50-65 years are at risk of sudden death (75%). Also, supporters of protein nutrition increase the risk of cancer.

But it should be noted that the danger is, only animal proteins, but vegetable proteins do not affect the human body so negatively..

They also note that at the age of 65 and more, it is necessary to increase the use of animal proteins, which are important for strengthening bone tissue.. For middle-aged people, it will be enough to consume 0.8 grams of animal protein per kilogram of body weight per day..

Scientists say that a protein diet gives the same negative effect as constant smoking..
